The single coil deck is a bit of a disappointment by most accounts I would strongly recommend just move on to the dual coil deck..
Thinking the single deck will be my unflavored deck.... Kind of stuck with that one for a few days.... Wife complained about me always having to "tinker" with the v1, used the argument that this tank will reduce my "tinkering" but I spent most of last night between cleaning and finally vaping on it "tinkering" so I have to sneak in some tinkering time here and there....

One more thing, unless Thor himself comes to my house, i cannot unscrew the top cap off from the chimney to switch to frosted glass, its literally stuck together. I tried to unscrew the top portion from the chimney but it will not budge.

Try placing top cap / chimney assembly it in your freezer for a couple of hours. It should loosen up enough to remove it. The top cap will contract around the constrained chimney to squeeze it and it should free up. You may need to let it thaw before it will budge but it should come off either cold or after thaw.

Use all of your might. Run it under a hot tap first. That did it for me.

Unfortunately i have a more dire problem. Mine won't fire when assembled, it's shorting out but it's not my build because it fires the deck. This is with the dual coil deck. I'm worried it might be because my positive post is leaning out slightly and shorting on the chamber? Any ideas folks?

Edit: that was the problem, solved with pliers lol

Just a quick note. The V2 is soooooo much better than the V1. But I really think this is more a new design and not a revision of the V1. They should have stuck with the short chimney IMHO as the flavor is no where as good as the V1. Performance wise, it matches the V1 and my Billow V2. Billow has the edge in the flavor. All in all I have now retired the V1 and this V2 is in the rotation. Very happy I pulled the trigger on this one. Wonder what's next?

hot water would make the metal expand, seem like it would just make it harder.
